Lifetime of a temporary file in ASP.NET - asp.net

I created a file in asp.net temporary folder.
How long this file will be available in the temporary dir?

The file is deemed temporary only through its 'tmp' extension and and it's placement in the temporary folder for the user. Such files are not deleted by the OS.

How to archive multiple files in sftp directory and move those files to an other directory?

I have an sftp folder where 200 files will be dropped on daily basis.
I need to archive these files and move them to another sftp folder in 1 shot instead of moving 1 file at time.
Basically, I want to archive/move the files into a separate folder without using foreach approach of archiving and writing file by file.
Is there an approach that I can follow to achieve that.
Thx
The SFTP Listener source has a Move To Directory configuration to set a directory to move the files received to that directory.

Adding new files with resource(.resx) file in ASP.NET

I am working on the old application where many pages have resource file. Each file structure is(.aspx file, .aspx.vb file, and aspx.resx file).
Now I have added the new file by following MSDN resource.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0hds5k93.aspx
In that file I can see the .aspx file, .aspx.vb file and the aspx.designer.vb file but I can't find the .aspx.resx file.
Can someone please help to create the resource file as existing files?
The resx files are located inside the App_LocalResources folder for page specific resource files or in the App_GlobalResources folder for globally accessible resource files.
If that folder does not exist you can add it to the project by right clicking on the project name and select Add > Add ASP.NET Folder.

Changes not working after deploying

I have made some changes to .cs file and copied the file into server where web application is hosted. But the changes I did are not reflecting. Please suggest a solution.
I tried copying .cs file alone also copied entire application files.
Did IISRESET and app pool recycle as well. But nothing works.
Most of the time when you're dealing with .cs files, you need to compile and copy the results of your build to the webserver. A combination of the .aspx/.cshtml files and bin directory including the .dll files
Here is a procedure that you can follow.
Create the app_offline.htm file on the root of your site, so the site will be off
Upload the updated files.
Now when you upload your files, if you have an Updated DLL, for your bin all is ok. You can even copy at least one dll on the bin, even if its not updated.
If you do not have that, update the web.config even with an empty line on the end, to give a signal to the site that needs some update.
Rename/remove the app_offline.htm from root and make the site online again

Creating temporary files in wwroot folder ASP.Net MVC3

I have developed an application in which some pdf reports are generated in a temporary folder. The temp folder is located inside the wwroot folder. Now, sometimes the session gets destroyed as soon as a pdf is generated.
Is this caused due to temp file generation ? Should the temp folder be outside wwroot folder ?
Yes, you should place that folder outside the root folder.
The reason your session gets destroyed is because IIS restarts the application when 15 files are modified. An easy workaround is to create a virtual directory in IIS, pointing to a folder outside the root and then write the files to that directory.
That way, your website doesn't need any hard references to a folder but can use MapPath to map the virtual directory to a physical folder
Why not use the App_Data folder? It's much more simple and you will not have this kind of problem.
I finally added a folder outside the wwwroot folder, linked it via virtual directory which solved the problem.

How to Set File-Location for Files Uploaded using NeatUpload

Salvete! When we set up the asp.net file-uploading control called "NeatUpload", it saves its files to a temporary location, either "YOUR_APP_ROOT /app_data/NeatUpload_Temp/", if the directory is writable, or to the system's temp folder. However, the demo does not seem to actually upload any files, nor does it include an example for saving the files to a particular directory.
How do we save the file we have uploaded and move the uploaded file to a particular folder? My only clue from the documentation is that it has to do with UploadStorageProvider, but I need some help to implement this.
if you read the documentation 3.3 point 6 :
In your codebehind file, process the uploaded file. If you are using
the InputFile control, the uploaded file's client-specified name, MIME
type, and contents can be accessed via inputFileId.FileName,
inputFileId.ContentType, and inputFileId .FileContent, respectively.
If you want to keep the uploaded file, you must use the
inputFileId.MoveTo()method to move the uploaded file to a permanent
location. If you do not, NeatUpload will automatically remove the
uploaded file at the end of the requestto ensure that unwanted files
do not fill up the filesystem. The following code will put the
uploaded file in the application's root directory (assuming sufficient
permissions):
and so on. I hope this is what you are after.
